Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BK/HTB-86M is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Current Rating: 16 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250V (exact match required)
• Fuse Size: 5mm x 20mm cartridge (exact match required)
• Number of Circuits: 1 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (exact match required)
• Termination Style: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm) (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (exact match required)

The substitute part BK/HTB-86M-R meets all electrical and mechanical parameters specified above, confirming functional interchangeability with the original component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BK/HTB-86M-R is the direct substitute for BK/HTB-86M. Both components are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division within the HTB series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance:

• BK/HTB-86M: Obsolete status; RoHS non-compliant
• BK/HTB-86M-R: Active status; ROHS3 compliant; REACH unaffected

For new designs, maintenance applications, or systems requiring current regulatory compliance, BK/HTB-86M-R is the appropriate selection. The substitute part maintains full functional equivalence while offering active product support and compliance with current environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HTB-86M-R be used as a direct replacement for BK/HTB-86M?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters: 16 A current rating, 250V voltage rating, 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuse accommodation, single circuit configuration, panel mount orientation, and quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination. Physical form factor and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between BK/HTB-86M and BK/HTB-86M-R?

A: The components are functionally identical. The primary differences are: BK/HTB-86M is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status, while BK/HTB-86M-R is active with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Both share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Packaging information for BK/HTB-86M is not specified in available data. BK/HTB-86M-R is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: What fuse types are compatible with these holders?

A: Both holders accommodate 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses only. No other fuse sizes or types are compatible with this holder design.

Q: Can these holders be used in applications below 250V?

A: The holders are rated for 250V maximum. Operation at lower voltages within the 16 A current rating is within specification, as voltage rating represents the maximum design limit.
